Hi, I’m Sarah — proud dog mum, camper enthusiast, accidental baker and gardener and someone who’s built a life (and a business) around keeping tails wagging.
My days start with muddy paw prints, end with a tired, happy dog, and somewhere in between I run Life of Riley Pet Bakery & Boutique — a little slice of doggy heaven where we handcraft natural, grain-free treats that look like they belong in a fancy patisserie.
It hasn’t always been neat or easy. Juggling a busy bakery, a home to run, and a Border Collie with an Olympic-level obsession for balls has taught me a lot about balance (and patience!).
Here on Living a Life of Riley, you’ll find:
Adventures & travel tips for dog owners who love exploring together.
Easy, healthy and tasty dog & human treat recipes you can make at home.
Behind-the-scenes peeks into running a dog-focused business.
Simple home & life hacks that keep the chaos at bay.
You’ll hear from guest bloggers — fellow dog lovers, experts, and creatives — who share their own stories, tips, and ideas. From canine nutritionists to adventure photographers, they bring fresh perspectives to help you and your dog live your best life together.
This blog is part diary, part guidebook, and part reminder that you can be a devoted dog owner, travel the world, have a thriving career / business, and still make time for yourself — as long as you’ve got the right systems (and snacks).
So grab a cuppa, pat the dog, and let’s build, survive, and thrive together. 🐾
